TAKING A MEASUREMENT
Info: Remain still and do not talk during measurement.
1. Press the USER button to choose user number for memory storage.
User selection can also be made by pressing the USER button while
readings are displayed after measurement is completed.
2. Press the POWER button to start automatic measurement. The
measurement can be interrupted anytime by pressing the POWER
button again.
3. When the measurement is completed, the systolic pressure, diastolic
pressure and pulse rate will be displayed.
4. The display will indicate which category your blood pressure reading
belongs to according to classification defined in 1999 WHO / ISH
Guidelines for Management of Hypertension. Optimal and normal
categories are indicated with 1 or 2 bars from the bottom which fall
within the green indication, high-normal is indicated with the 3rd bar
from the bottom which falls within the yellow indication, and grade
1-3 hypertension categories are indicated with 4-6 bars from the
bottom which fall within the red indication.
5. IPD (Irregular Pulse Detection): The device can detect irregular pulse
(a pulse interval longer than 5/3 times the average pulse interval)
during measurement. The IPD indicator will appear when more than
three irregular pulses were detected during measurement. If the IPD
indicator is displayed with measurement readings frequently, consult
a physician for further directions.
6. The device also provides the PP (Pulse Pressure) function that is
equal to systolic minus diastolic. If systolic is higher than diastolic 60
mmHg, LCD will display “PP” and differentiation value. If PP indicator
is displayed with measurement readings frequently, please consult a
qualified physician for further direction.
7. Press the POWER button to turn off the device or it will turn off
automatically after 150 seconds non-operation. Readings will be
saved into memory automatically while powering off.
